Portuguese Kale Soup Recipe

From the poster: "The best Portuguese soup made by my mother, Christina L Pacheco."

1/2 pound dried white pea beans
1/2 pound chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
1 pound beef soup bones
1 quart water
1 medium head cabbage, chopped
2 bunches kale - rinsed, dried and chopped
5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 quart hot water or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1 Soak beans in twice their volume of water 8 hours or overnight.
2 In a large pot, place drained beans, chorizo, soup bones and 1 quart water (or more as needed to cover). Cook over medium heat until beans are just beginning to be tender, 1 hour.
3 Stir in cabbage, kale, potatoes and enough hot water to cover. Cook until potatoes are tender, 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
